We are very pleased to offer a new event for show-goers this year!
The Quilt Auction coordinated by the Log Cabin Quilters Guild is a much anticipated event at our yearly County Fair in Hayfork. Due to the fire emergency this summer, however, our fair had to be cancelled. In order for the 2008 auction to take place, it has been added to the slate of events at Autumn in the Alps. The auction is sure to be the highlight of this year's quilt show.
Dozens of quilts will be auctioned! Show visitors, this is your chance to bid and buy colorful quilts that will become cherished family heirlooms. All of these quilts were made in Trinity County by local artisans. A portion of proceeds go to support the Log Cabin Quilt Guild and its activities and charitable works.
For more information on the quilt auction, or if you have a quilt to auction, contact Coordinator Marynel Merris at 530-628-4288.
